Wagyu translates to "Japanese Beef". How does one create American Japanese Beef? Would it not be simply American Beef at that point? Surely this is akin to the Champagne vs. Sparling Wine discussion?

And yes, as mentioned above, the entire point of Wagyu is the marbling so to destroy that structure by grinding it for a hot dog, one simply creates fatty ground beef. Major marketing fail. here.
